OUR POSITION
H+H Family,
The countless Black Lives lost to inhumane acts of police brutality cannot continue. We are sickened and deeply saddened by the constant state of violence against the Black Community and the systemic racism in America that is the root cause of these issues. Enough is enough.
Happy + Hale stands in solidarity with our Black Team Members, our Black Guests, and the Black Community. We see you, we hear you, and we promise to stand beside you, with you, for you. We will use the Happy + Hale platform to help bring justice, combat systemic racism, create change, and become proud ally. The time is now.
Kindness, equality, and inclusion have always been part of our culture and we want our actions as a business to be in community and conversation with those advocating for change we need in this country. We are committed to doing the work ahead and are inspired by many of those in our community who are using their voices and making the change. We are taking this time to listen, learn, and to create space to honor and acknowledge the lives lost and amplify the voices that need to be heard.
We are taking action from the inside out and are in this for the long haul. We will be updating this post as we develop and deliver on meaningful action items as an organization..
Black Lives Matter. They always have and they always will.
In Solidarity,
Team Happy + Hale
